Check out this feedback from one of our workshop particpants!

We were going to the Hitched & Happy class in Springfield but just changed to the class in Republic because it's so much closer for us! The instructors are incredible and the people here made us feel so welcome!
  
We are learning alot from this class. It's been a life saver for us! I recommend this class for anyone getting married or for anyone that has been married for 20 years or more! It teaches you to communicate, learn about where expectations come from and how to talk through them. It's amazing!
 
Thank you to all involved in teaching this class or any behind the scenes. It's made a difference in our marriage!

The Chalkboard at the Top of the Stairs

chalkboardThere was a chalkboard at the top of the stairs from the basement. After we shucked off our work boots, hung up our farm coats and tramped up the stairs to open the door, there it was. Our father used it to post logic problems or puzzles for us to think about and attempt to solve.

At breakfast, at least once a week or more, he queried us on new vocabulary words often from the Reader's Digest "Word Power" section, asking us if we knew what they meant. "Use them," he said, "and they will be yours."

Bright Blue Shoes and Character Ed

Bright Blue Shoes-2"I can spend my back-to-school money however I want?" questioned our soon-to-be in 8th grade son.

"As long as you spend it on school clothes and supplies," I replied. "That's what it's for, but you can choose how to divvy it up. Remember, though, when it's gone, that's all you're getting from us."

"No problem," he assured me confidently, "I know what I want."
